Dumpy spot

Checked in late after delayed flight and neither of the two door codes provided worked. We were standing at the front door and were accosted my a local drunk person. No person working onsite, luckily they answered the phone but weren’t really helpful… offered to cancel our reservation instead of fixing their mistake. Wanted to love the place with the old school charm, but room wasn’t really functional. No side tables, few outlets, tiny bathroom.

I thought my room was very nice and clean. My only reservations with the property was that the area was unsafe. If you walk a half of mile to the east where my son lives , the area is better. I would not walk at night alone in this area.

Nice space and relatively clean room. Do wish there was somewhere to hang towels and fix the leaky faucet in the kitchen. Struggled to clean plates as there were not cleaning supplies. Appreciated the amenities and I would stay here again! The homeless were a bit of a nuisance but manageable. But overall, a very pleasant stay!

Good stay, rough area

I booked this based off being close to a pre concert meet up at a local restaurant. The area around it was across the street from a bus stop. The area around the hotel was covered with trash and had a lot of unhoused people. No one bothered me, but I was a little uncomfortable walking back post concert by myself. My room had an ac unit which was nice but only drapes and with it being seconds from a brightly lit gas station, the curtains blocked the air, definitely need blinds instead. It worked for what I needed and was clean inside which is what the best you can hope for

The property is surrounded by homeless people and a is a little uncertain whether there would be a group of people sitting on the steps. There was no remote in the room - for my shower this morning I had to wait 7 minutes for hot water. Overall the room was clean.

The room was fine but there is no on site personnel. You get in while punching in a code at the entrance with homeless literally on the steps to the front door about 5 feet away. I moved to another hotel for the rest of the weekend. Moved to a Hilton Inn on Welton Street which was 1000 % better

The television did not work correctly. There was no volume the area around. It was unsafe. There were homeless people everywhere and the 7-Eleven even had a warning sign of recording people that I could hear from my window. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. I was told that I would get at least 50% off my stay.

A hotel with some charm in a terrible place

The hotel has already (snarkily) responded to others who have complained about the homeless situation, stating that "all cities have homeless problems." Okay but this particular corner of Colfax and High Street is unbelievably bad. Parking on the street was super limited and you had to walk past what can only be called absolute squalor to get to the front door. Inside, the hotel is not without its charms (but is without any staff) and you'll definitely need to make use of the complimentary earplugs and eye masks they leave you in order to get any sleep. I took my earplugs out around 3 am hoping the zombie apocalypse outside would have calmed down, (which it mostly had except the occasional person screaming). The hotel inside was pretty clean actually but unfortunately the chemical products they use are overpowering and we got out of there as fast as we could in the morning. Switch to some more eco-friendly cleaning products. If I were the owners of this hotel, I'd be going to every City Council meeting I could and demand that Denver clean up the scene around my business. Are there no police in this town? If it sounds like I am being too harsh here, please note that I have left out some of the worst things we saw. Not just homelessness, but prostitution, drugs, public nudity, and the biggest mess on a street corner I've ever walked past. Also the listing says, " ... all while being pampered by the top-rated helpful staff." What? There's literally nobody there!

Mediocre at best

It was fine, a place to sleep…it was loud, there were a ton of homeless people. I feel like it would benefit from having someone onsite, the homeless sit around on the steps, making it super uncomfortable when trying to get in/out. The tv volume didn’t work on the remote, subtitles only. The coffee cups were dirty.

There are a lot of noisy things that are happening in the area like construction and large groups on unhoused people chilling outside. Would not be a problem if the windows were all shut, however, one of the windows in the sunroom attached to the suite was stuck open when I arrived and I was unable to close it. I instead had to close the doors that opened to the sunroom to mute the sounds from outside and keep the room from getting hot because all the cool air from the A/C was just escaping and allowing hot air in. The main door to the suite also needs some maintenance because every time I opened and closed it, it was incredibly loud, and I felt bad disturbing others in the hotel. Overall, not the worst experience I’ve had in a hotel, but no where near the best. Please look into doing maintenance of doors and windows in your facility, it is both for comfort and safety.

Beware! Stay away!

One of the worst experiences I have had in a while. The pictures on the website are nothing of what the hotel actually looks like. Lets start with the outside. First of all it says there is parking for their guests.....there is not. If your lucky to find a parking on the street nearby, your blessed but don't count in it. Second, the hotel is really hard to see because it falls in with a bunch of liquor stores and sketched out gas stations. There were homeless people hanging out in the front of the hotel as well as a couple of prostitutes. The door to get into the hotel didnt even work. There was a sign saying read the sign to the left, but there was no sign to read so we had no idea how to get in. After struggling I attempted to call someone for help but there is no human being on this property to assist with anything nor do they answer their phones. We finally got inside the building only to find that the suite we booked was not the suite we were given. I booked and paid for the Albert 4 suite with a kitchen. We got a stinky old room with a 2nd unneeded bedroom, a mini fridge, microwave and an ancient coffee maker. After hearing a commotion outside we decided to get dinner only to find a homeless person asleep in the back of our truck which was parked two blocks away! That was the final straw. We grabbed our bags and didnt even stay at this place. We ended up driving home overnight. Ibhighly reccomend staying away from this place. The pictures they post are bs.

Outside issues

There's was no outside parking, had to find a parking spot on the street, unfortunately there was construction and street closure up and down in front of the hotel which took away any chance of parking close. The neighborhood was not a place i felt safe leaving my vehicle parked, let alone have to carry luggage blocks to get into the room. We choose not to stay and find other accommodations
